Marie Fredriksson’s new album out in November, single out this week!
TT (Swedish news agency) has published a few more details about the release of Marie’s upcoming album. The single “Kom vila hos mig” will be out on Wednesday this week (Sept. 25) and the album “NU!” will be out end of November. Marie tells TT that she really looked forward to releasing an album in Swedish, “time goes by so fast and after I got sick I didn’t manage to do more.” As we all know, Roxette got “inbetween”: they recorded two albums and went on a world tour which started in 2010 and ended in 2012.
Marie’s husband Mikael Bolyos has written most of the songs, but they have also worked with various songwriters such as Per Gessle – as Marie revealed in an interview with us a few weeks ago -, Uno Svenningsson, Kenneth Gärdestad, Ulf Sagerström or Johan Kinde. Marie also tells that her voice has changed, “it has become darker”, but she thinks that all in all her voice has become better.
TT also reveals that Marie is working on a book about her life and that Marie already chose the author she will work with for this project. Besides that, Marie explained that Per is already writing new material for a Roxette album.
Marie also says that her only wish at the moment is to hit the road and play live, and meet her fans. This will hopefully happen next year.
Mr Gessle’s thoughts not to be lost
As Per is sharing a lot of information about his songs, demos, covers, etc. on Roxette Official and Per Gessle Official lately, we thought to collect them here, not to lose these pearls in the dark depths of Facebook. We hope Per is keeping up the good thing (thanx in advance, Mr G) and this way we can continuously update the list with his comments, so check it whenever you feel like it. There may be some new info for you from time to time. First of all, check Per’s posts, but if you don’t have time each day to have a look at the Facebook sites he’s handling, you can come here and see what’s new on the list.
We’ve created a section called “PG about songs“ for this up in the Menu.
Enjoy the collection!
